I beg to differ.  I am 5 years younger than you and know many hams who 
are younger than me still.

Everyone says the hobby is dying, yet everyone bitches about how there is 
too much QRM on the bands due to contesting, DXing, etc.

Go figure.

Perhaps the reason why parts aren't so available at hamfests is that few 
people homebrew any more.  The ready availability of good commercial 
equipment at decent prices sorta eliminates the need to homebrew.  So 
that aspect of the hobby IS dying.

And I'll agree: Social Security is a ponzi scheme.

73,
